Superstition of tho Fortieth Year.

When was travelling in Germany
learned that there was superstition in
regard to the fortieth year Of each century
that was held by all Prussians and that
has its foundation in the history Of the
empire. The fortieth year of each century
is regarded by them as marking the begin
ningof q new era, and in substantiation
of their belief they go back to the fifteenth
century. Frederick Hohenzollern was q
simple burgrave Of Nuremberg, who rose
to great distinction and acquired large
wealth. In the early part of the fifteenth
century the old electoral house of Bran
denburg died out and the right to name a
successor fell to the emperor Of Germany.
Frederick Hohenzollern bought the title,
but the nobility opposed his purchase, and,
after the fashion of those days, some hot
fighting ensued which resulted in decis-
I've victory for Frederick in the year 1440.
This is considered the beginning of the
political and military power Of the house
of Hohenzollern. In 1910 the elector' of
Brandenburg embraced the Protestant
religion. In 1910 the great elector, as he
was called, assembled the throne, and by
skillful diplomacy and power Of arms
acquired the kingdom of Prussia, which
he added to Brandenburg, thus doubling
and trebling the strength of his prin-
scipality In TAO Frederick the Great
assembled the throne, and in 1910 Freder-
lick William w assembled the throne, and
was succeeded by his brother, the present
emperor. During Frederick William
Tvs reign began the movement which
culminated in the insurrection of 1848,
and gave Prussia its constitutional govern
ment.-Gl Globe Democrat.

Alexandra Dumas, says correspondent,
has a tendency to stand in corners, with
arms folded, and nurse his chin between
the thumb and the index of his right hand,
while he relates some anecdote of himself
or of his father in a roughish, hoarse
voice and with a certain brusqueness Of
language. Angler is nervous and in
cisive talker, joyous gautois at times, and
gifted with O communicative laugh. Renan
is ''urbane, unctuous, priestly and un-
affirmative. Alphonse Daudet retains
the awkwardness of Bohemian anteced-
ents. Sardou twill talk your head off; q
single word is sufficient to start him."
Edmond de Goncourt talks "well and
elegantly, and with great originality Of
language" Victor Hugo used to be re-
puted an excellent talker. Barley d'Au-
reyilly, who is one of the lions of the
Baronne de Poilly's salon, is master In
the art of causerie, both as narrator and
in repartee. About, "of course, is capt.
tai talker." lola is "boor in all respects;
he never appears in salon, and when by
chance he visits one of his colleagues in
naturaism he invariably talks about the
circulation of his books and the seurvy
thievery of those American publishers
who translate his novels and never pay
him q cent. "-Chicago Tribune.

AN ACTRESS WONDERFUL ART.

The Unborn Magnetic Power of the Ar
fist Illustrated in Recitation.
Some time ago Nine. Modjeska, who
happened to be spending Sunday in New
York, was talking to some friends in her
rooms at the Clarendon hotel about her
art, always with her favorite topic. She
had discussed the approaching subsection
of the stage to liberalism, which she
believes will soon rule there as in the
novel, and the chat turned on the actors
art. Some one suggested that what may
be termed the technique of acting weighed
but little when placed in the scale against
the Unborn magnetic power of the artist.
Nine. Modjeska rendered a qualifying
assent to this proposition, claiming that
an actor or actress of power can by the
simplest means convey an emotion to her
audience by putting himself or herself as
it were en- rapport with them and depend
ing not at all upon the words given by the
author.
The famous little German monologue
called in English "COme Herer' was men
toned, and finally Mime. Mojeska offered
to give o recitation in the same vein. She
had often, she said, given it in Polish to
English speaking auditors, and had often
though the trifie was, she thought it re-
markable for the varying emotions 1t
called into play. 81 have, in fact, she
added, ''to run the whole gamut from ten
derness to despair and from caressing love
to whitening scorn.'' One of those pres
ent had heard this recitation given in the
original by Modjeska, and insisted that
whoever the author might be, share Of
praise was due to him for embodying in
such small compass SO many states of feel
ing.
With smile Modjeska began, first of
all apologizing for what she called her
necessarily rough and imperfect transla-
lation of her fellow countryman's poetry
into English. Then with the tenderness
of q young girl first whispering to herself
her lovers name, she breathed out Cone"
A pause and shade of suspicion crept
into her tones as she asked herself the
hesitating question, ''Two!' Her woman's
faith, stronger than reason and triumph
ing over actual proof perhaps, rang in the
clear sound of her resolute "Three." BY
this time her auditors were divided be-
tween the admiration of the art which
was something more than Evolutionary,
and amusement at the little trick she had
played, not only on them, but ON the many
assemblies to whom she had recited her
"Polish poem" But as the recitation
proceeded and she sounded every note of
human passion and emotion they burst
into continued applause. Finally, number
after number having been given a dis
tinct meaning, the whirlwind of indignant
scorn and indignation and the accompany
ing regal gesture with which the climax
''forty" came drought down the house."
and her point was gained. "You can
make a tragedy of the multiplication table
and comedy of long division sum-"
was one of the compliments addressed to
her.-New York Tribune.

Drink and Learning.

One of the chief aphorisms of Brillat.
Savarin, the philosophical gastronome,
was: "Tell me what you eat and 1 will
tell you what you are'' The famous DIR.
Arthaud, who wrote learned dissertation
on vines and wines, said: "The witty
magistrate approached the truth had he
written, Tell me what you drink and
will tell you what you are.'" He insists
that tea drinker never was, never can
be, jolly good fellow; that the poverty
in musical genius of great tea drinkers,
such as the Chinese and the English,
arises from no other cause. Bacchus gave
up part of his empire to incense, myrrh,
nard and opium, and with the introduc.
ton of these drugs art, science and ntera.
ture declined, and the civilization Of
Greece passed with the vine into Italy.
DR.. Arthaud was a Frenchman and q lover
of French wines; therefore he detested
beer and those who delight in it, saying OF
the German people generally, that if they
had multiplied their wine stocks instead
of hops and pies, they would have COM
manded an enviable political position

One of Mexico,s Quiet Cities.

Our next stop was made at Siloa, a quiet
city of $4,000 inhabitants, the towers,
spires and minarets of its massive houses
OF worship rising high above the low
thatched dwellings of its residents, rich
and poor. Its Neutrality-suspicious. and clean
kept courts are filed with choicest flower
ing plants and semi tropical exotics. The
city band gave concert in the evening in
honor of our visit Our Pullman train
was side tracked for the night, and we
slept soundly, to be awakened with the
morning light by q jargon of bells-as
though struck by thousand sledge
hammers. The bells in this strange land
all came from Spain, and every old cath
edral, church, monastery and convent has
from three to twelve-never keyed to con-
cert pitch nor rung as chimes, but ham
mered vigorously with the clapper, and
these people think it exquisite music

THE EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
One Hundred and Fifty Persons Killed
Digging Out Bodies.


CITY OF MEXICO, May 2S.-Reports from
local officials in the region of North Mexico,
recently visited by earthquake shocks, reached
here Saturday. The chief of the Fiscal guard
at Babispe says: "The earthquake was so
strong here that it did not leave u single hab-
table house standing. Sixty persons were
killed, and many We're wounded beyond hope
of recovery. Between 5 p m. and l a. M. Of
the day following there were eighteen shocks
We are still digging out bodies, and think the
number of killed will reach 100"
A letter from Janos declares the existence of
an extensive volcano and says: "rhe smoke
is so dense it cuts off the suns rays. Many
testify that when the earthquake occurred
they saw large boulders shoot up into the air
and that flames burst forth from the summit
of the mountain, setting fire to the forest"
A letter from Casas Grande says: "In the
mountains which we call Sierra Madre, vol

Southern Presbyterians.

ST. LOUIS, May 23.-At the second days
session of the Southern Presbyterian general
assembly the chief point of interest was the
consideration of a proposition to unite with
the Northern general assembly. The most
emphatic protest came from the presbytery
of Mecklenburg, Tenn, which declared there
were religious, moral and practical reasons
why union between northern and southern
presbyteries was impracticable. The religious
reason was declared to be that turmoil and
strife would inevitably ensue; the moral rea-
son, that the northern assembly allowed poll
tics to creep into and actuate its teachings,
and the practical reason was the wide
difference of opinion on the social status of
the negro. The entire question was referred
to committee.

Every sound comes more directly to one

to use both ears in order to determine the
direction of sound, for it is only by COM
pairing the intensity of the two impressions
that we can decide whence the sound pro-
ceeds. If q person wakes in the night and

LONDON, May 23.-Sir George Otto
Trevelyan, replying to Lord ChurchiIrs COM
munication recently published in The Times,
in which the latter charges Mr.. Trevelyap>
v N saving changed his views on the irish
=, . :,=*;a &c Aio-, - -
question without Jds.lllCaLlon, quoting
speeches made by Mr.. Trevelyan in 1882 and
1883, in which the present policy of the gov
eminent is upheld, justifes his action while
holding the Office of chief secretary for Ire
land as consistent with his present policy and
says that although he had the power to try
men before three judges without jury, it
was never used by either Lord Spencer, the
then lord-ieutenant, or himself. When in
Office they had to make rapid and critical de-
cisions under a fierce searching criticism. He
is willing to admit that in some cases they
may have departed from the strict line they
laid down at the beginning of their task, but
they left speech and writing in Ireland free.
They extinguished crime so that the succeed
ing government did not need the enactment
of coercion. Mr.. Trevelyan concludes by
asking Lord Churchill how he reconciles his
opposition to the mildest form of coercion in
1885 and his approval of the present stringent
coercion measure,
